About PHB
The Population Health Branch (PHB) seeks to improve environmental public health across the lifespan through support of fundamental, epidemiological, social science and community engaged research projects and programs. Our goal is to stimulate translation of fundamental research findings into public health including intervention and prevention strategies. Our portfolio includes:
- Animal and cell-based studies to understand how timing of environmental exposures impact health outcomes.
- Epidemiological studies examining the impact of environmental exposures on health and the interplay of exposures with genetic, behavioral, and sociocultural factors.
- Community-engaged research.
